Stopping the PC Card
If you are removing a PC Card, you must first stop it. The system
might freeze or data might be lost if a PC Card is removed before it
is stopped.
Note:
You can stop only one card at a time. After invoking stop,
you cannot stop another card until the first stop is either
completed or fails.
To stop a card, select Stop from the “Actions” menu.
Power to the slot is turned off when a card is “stopped.” You can
remove ATA cards. To prevent loss of data and other unpredictable
machine behavior, make sure the stop operation is complete before
you remove the cards.
